I tried to find some files from the command line prompt which are named

characters of the type: \263\320\321 (Unicode numeric value of the
letters?). Any ideas what happens here and how correct functionality can
be restored?
Which command line prompt(s): cmd, mintty, rxvt, xterm, ...?
Where and how did you switch layouts: Windows keyboard mapping, Windows
system locale, Windows user regional settings, chcp, LANG, LC_CTYPE,
LC_ALL, ...?
If you are using a terminal, what are the terminal locale and code page
settings?
Maybe you could explicitly show and tell us what characters you used
(sending in hex please and also in 8bit UTF-8 for maximum readability: that
looks like octal which went out with ASCII, ISO-646, SBCS code pages), show
us how the filenames appear including the locales and the shell command
lines, and show and tell us what you expect, and what is the difference in
what you see.

Using what utility/-ies, how and where did you customize and switch keyboard
mappings: Windows keyboard mapping, Windows system locale, Windows user regional
settings, readline {/etc/,~/.}inputrc?
